Car starts and stalls/engine light on. Was told it is the crank and cam sensor as well as the transmission input speed sensor. We noticed this is a big issue and many cars have been recalled for this issue but not all, including ours. If this is such a major issue why are only some being repaired by dealer. Is there anything we can do to get the dealer to repair it. This is my father's car but it is my information…

I have a 2005 altima and i have been having problems. I repalced the senors based on the diagnostic reading from two reputable repair shops. My check engine light keeps coming back on. I googled and found out that several altima owners have experienced the exact same problem. I called nissan and was told based on my vin #, i'm not part of the recall. That makes no sense. The dealer wants to charge me an arm and a…

My car would not start normally. Immediately the check engine light turned on. Had a code with a failed crankshaft sensor. Nissan was informed and rudely refused to help with the replacement even though it had a recall on it. Said my vin number was not included. Seems like nobody's vin # was included in this recall. This is a safety hazard. I replaced the sensor but it cost me $170.00 for something that nissan…
